Europe commits to Saint-Martin

Project: Sustainable development

The operation entitled "SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: POST IRMA AND POS COVID-19 RECONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION CONTINUES IN COMPLIANCE WITH ECO-RESPONSIBLE AND GREEN STANDARDS" aims to:

Promote the repair of damage following the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its social consequences, and prepare for an ecological and resilient recovery of the economy;
And to continue the post-IRMA renovation of the hospital infrastructure by integrating eco-responsible and green standards.

At the building level, the planned actions are the replacements:

Replacing air handling units is essential to ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of our operating rooms. It also helps ensure the air quality in the building and prevent potential problems such as air pollution or air leaks.
It's important to plan ahead for replacing your air handling units to ensure all components are operating properly. This will also help optimize energy consumption and reduce repair costs.
Insulating our chilled water systems is essential to ensure the durability of the installations while meeting energy requirements. By ensuring constant comfort without wasting energy, it prevents the cold water from heating up based on the outside temperature.
Replacing our elevators allows for cost reductions. In addition to limiting breakdowns and repairs, it will help reduce the energy bill of the facilities.
A pledge of innovation: elevator renovation can finally provide access to innovative solutions for better equipment management.
Air dehumidification is essential in our hospital's operating rooms. Air is a major source of contamination in this high-risk area for infections. This is why we must properly treat the air to prevent airborne contamination of medical staff and patients.
The sun is an inexhaustible and free source of energy. Thanks to solar thermal panels, we can capture the sun's rays to heat our domestic hot water, which can provide us with 50 to 80% of our annual domestic hot water needs. The Saint-Martin Hospital Center is working on this environmental approach.
The establishment will deploy this green energy across all of its construction operations.

In terms of equipment, the planned actions are:

Replacement of sterilization autoclaves with newer, less energy-consuming equipment,
And the implementation of CMMS (Computer-Assisted Maintenance Management) software to eliminate the use of paper in the technical, IT and biomedical departments.

Total cost of the operation: €544,177.35

Project to construct a new building, reception, admission, laboratory, outpatient consultations, administration

On Thursday, October 26, 2023, the Minister for Overseas Territories and local authorities laid the foundation stone of a new hospital building.
Located behind the current hospital, this new building will be designed to accommodate patients and provide short-term care.
It will be connected to the current hospital to facilitate the movement of professionals and, where appropriate, patients.
The purpose of this building is to house a medical day hospital and multipurpose offices.
The complete delivery of the building is scheduled for: August 2025.

Total estimated cost: 12 million Euros including tax.
